Horrible Guild Similo: Harry Potter

Juego sencillo y fácil de entender. Jugarlo con amigos puede ser retador dado que cada quien piensa diferente e interpreta las cartas diferente. Jugarlo con mazos diferentes lo hace más difícil. Les recomiendo que compren diferentes.

This is a really fun, and quick little game! The premise is simple to pick up, but the game is one that will test how well you know your characters and the people you are playing with. Our son listened to the Harry Potter books last year with me and so we are both very familiar with the characters but it is so funny to see how different we can see them when forced to play with just five clue cards, what seems obvious to one person is not always so obvious to the other. We get this game out often and it is a very quick one to play a couple rounds before bed since there isn't a lot of set up. The artwork on the cards is amazing and the little character descriptions on the side of each card are great. If you or another player are not very familiar with Harry Potter, this brand has several other Similo options that may work better for your family. We also have the Animals one and really enjoy it as well, and we plan on adding more to our collection. We like the game so much we even got the app to go on my phone so we can play on the go without worrying about losing cards. Definitely worth purchasing!

... clearly I received a returned game, not new. There is so kind of weird gunk all over this package. Honestly wouldn't be a HUGE deal, since I transfer card games to different cases, but I bought this as a gift. And I don't know who saw this at the Amazon warehouse and thought "eh, they won't really notice or care." Now the game itself is super fun and easy to learn. And I like the art style the Similio cards have. Fast to learn, even quicker game play. And I like that the end goal is to get everyone to guess, not to trip them up. Nice teamwork game!

I've played several games of Similo online and at conventions, so when I saw the Harry Potter version available, it was an obvious choice to pick up as a treat for my preteen kids. We're all HP fans and I can say, on the fandom level, this Similo set delivers! No complaints there. But, I was surprised at how difficult it was for some people to keep track of the meanings of each play. LIKE this character NOT LIKE this character, seems simple enough, but in practice it was tougher than we thought, and I think it just comes down to how some people process information in making decisions. My wife in particular had such a tough time that she decided to sit out of future games, because the sets of plays were creating diifficult-to-parse double negatives in her head and she ended up being more frustrated than entertained. So keep in mind that it may not click for all players! Be patient when teaching! If you already love Similo and love HP too, this is a real winner. We especially loved mixing it with some of the animal and myth sets!

We are huge Harry Potter fans and are always in the look out for fun games. . especially ones that travel well. We got this for a recent trip and my kids love it. It takes about 2 minutes to learn and explain.. It does help if you have a good knowledge of Harry Potter (books or movies). You could play it with any age kids. Tons of variations so you definitely get your money's worth out of it
